Abstract
A woven material wherein the woof or cross filling threads are disposed at a predetermined angle other than a right angle to the warp or lengthwise threads.
Claims16
An anistropic material comprising,
- a plurality of lengthwise spaced threads,
- a plurality of filling threads interwoven with said lengthwise threads so as to place some areas of said filling threads on opposite sides of said lengthwise threads,
- a number of said filling threads being interwoven with said lengthwise threads along pre-oriented axes and at predetermined angles other than a right angle with respect to said lengthwise threads to impart physical characteristics to said material at angles other than at right angles thereto,
- said interwoven filling threads and said lengthwise threads interlocking one another to provide rail-shear strength and reduce lateral movement and

An article having portions thereof which are disposed
- in an anistropic manner comprising,
- a first layer;
- said first layer including a plurality of filling threads interwaoven with a plurality of lengthwise threads so as to place some areas of said filling threads on opposite sides of said lengthwise threads,
- a number of said filling threads being interwoven with said lengthwise threads along pre-oriented axes and at a predetermined angle other than a right angle with respect to said lengthwise threads to impart physical characteristics to said material at angles other than at right angles,
- said interwoven filling threads and said lengthwise threads interlocking one another to provide rail-shear strength and reduce lateral movement and delamination effects between such lengthwise and filling threads, and
- a second layer,
- said second layer being operatively connected to said first layer in

A layer material for use in superimposed relationship with respect to another material to provide predetermined structural properties comprising,
- a plurality of lengthwise spaced threads,
- a plurality of filling threads interwoven with said lengthwise threads so as to place some areas of said filling threads on opposite sides of said lengthwise threads,
- a number of said filling threads being interwoven with said lengthwise threads along pre-oriented axes and at predetermined angles other than a right angle with respect to said lengthwise threads to impart physical characteristics to said material at angles other than at right angles thereto,
- said interwoven filling threads and said lengthwise threads interlocking one another to provide rail-shear strength and reduce lateral movement and delamination effects between said lengthwise and filling threads when forces are applied in directions other than parallel to the orientation axes of said threads.
